Knead with both hands the whole throat and neck, moving every part
and eliminating any soreness or stiffness.
The night gown should be unbuttoned and the breast bare. The fingers
should be used and also the palm of the hand and the thumb so that every
part of the neck and throat shall be set free.
In most persons spots will be found that have some tenderness or
soreness, especially if there is any cold or sore throat, and these
parts should receive careful attention and manipulation, which should be
continued until the soreness is removed. Persevere until the whole
throat feels perfectly free and relaxed. It is often the case that some
gland is weak and can be strengthened by this massage.
This exercise and that of the manipulation of the stomach, as well as
the exercises which follow, have a wonderful effect upon the voice.
